Was an honor to have my old buddy, actor, comedian, and prolific comedy show producer, Phillip Casale (@phil_casale) up to Radio Free Brooklyn studios this week to do the show. I've known him for more than a decade and this was a lovely chance to catch up. Phillip and I chatted about all kinds of topics ranging from what a man is supposed to like, to aspiring to pay your rent as a comedian, to how complicated the notion of "growing up" can be as a comedian and improviser, to how we were both influenced by the movie Hook and the book How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, to Phillip's complicated love of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, to human-ness, to Phillip's recent foray back into scripted on screen acting. Along the way we get in quite a few screwy and hilarious improv scenes, including a scene about two maniacal, but unfulfilled super villains discovering friendship. If you enjoyed this podcast feel free to check out our live show on radio Free Brooklyn internet radio every Thursday night at 11pm ET. Please like, rate, and subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and tell a friend! I need your support to keep bringing you comedy every week.

In our latest episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, Ed Foychuk and I caught up to discuss the topic of 'laziness', and how to avoid it so you can meet those impending deadlines! If you want to make money from your art, chances are you're going to take on more than a few art commissions throughout your career. But more importantly, you'll have to be motivated, and a true professional to get them back to your clients on time. That's not always easy! Especially when you're held down by the very human condition known as laziness. We've all felt it, and more often than not. Truth is it never really goes away, our default mode tends to be lazy. The trick is prevailing none the less. Putting your nose to the grind stone and knocking out what needs to be done. Easier said then done right? It most certainly is, which is why we'll be sharing our best techniques and strategies in the hopes of helping you kick the habit of laziness a little easier. Because most of the time that's all laziness really is. A habit. And that's what makes it so difficult to get ourselves back in the game when we're at our least productive.

In today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast I’m joined by a very special guest - Michael Pedro. Michael is an animation art director and concept designer for video games and film; specializing primarily in environment, character and creature design. He is also one of our newest instructors on How to Draw Comics . net, so I thought we’d invite him onto the show today to discuss his career as an artist, how he got started, who he learned from, and how he went about honing his skill set. I hope you enjoy the episode and take away a ton of value - it truly was an honor to have Michael join us on the show.

Welcome to another episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast! The topic of today is 'Sex in Comics'! How do people generally feel about comic books with heavy sexual themes? Is there a line that can be be crossed, and if so where do we draw it? What's the difference between art which is sexually themed and nudity? These are the very same questions we as admins of the How to Draw Comics Facebook group consider everyday when moderating the content which is posted. So we thought it deserved a conversation. After all, sex, art and story have been tightly tied together for eons. It's one of the inbuilt core drives we have as human beings. And it's really no wonder that NSFW orientated comic book titles are doing so well on crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. We hope you enjoy this episode and get a ton of value out of it. As always thanks for listening, and until next time - Keep on practicing and keep on creating.

In today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast we're joined by a very special guest - Marc Brunet. Marc is a successful artist, instructor and entrepreneur who has worked for some of the largest studios in the world. But that's not what he's most known for. Over the years Marc has built up his learning platform Cubebrush into a go to educational resource for artists across multiple industries. Whether it be comic books, concept design or 3d modelling, Cubebrush's vast library of curated courses offers something for everyone. Most notably, Marc has just completed his hit course 'Art School' - a carefully structured curriculum of lessons that promises to give you the same education you'd expect to find in a traditional art school for a fraction of the price. Throughout this episode Marc will share his background as an artist, explaining how he started and ultimately made his way into the industry. He'll talk about his journey from working inside a well established studio, to risking it all on a business venture that set the stage for his success as an entrepreneur. I hope you enjoy the episode and take away a ton of value - it truly was an honor to have Marc join us on the show. If you'd like to find out more about Marc or Cubebrush - visit the links below.

In this episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast special guest artist ModernDayJames (James Murphy) joins us to share his experiences as both a practicing artist and versed instructor. James has lead an interesting path as an artist, exploring a variety of creative avenues and disciplines, to ultimately find what he was most passionate about - drawing. What started out as a personal endeavor to educate himself on the fundamentals of drawing, turned into a rapidly increasing library of learning resources that he produced and shared with other aspiring artists. Combining his analytical approach to learning and his past experiences as a lecturer, James has developed a highly tuned teaching style that gives his students a straight forward approach to learning the most important drawing principles such as form, shape, figure drawing and anatomy. This episode is packed with an absolute loot of wisdom and insight - I hope you get a lot of value out of it. If you'd like to learn more about ModernDayJames and his courses, follow the links below.

Impatience comes hand in hand with any art form. When we set out to create something, it'll demand a significant amount of thought, time and energy to get it done. Take a complex illustration for example, that features multiple characters and an intricate background. It might take hours, even days to complete, as you stroke in every last detail. Another example might be a comic or graphic novel. Such a huge undertaking could take months to see through to completion. There's no shortcuts or fast ways around it. The only way to get there is a diligent work ethic and a lot of patience. Having patience is extremely difficult when instant gratification is taken off the table. The rewarding feeling we get from finishing something worth while only comes at the end, and getting there means commitment and dedication. You get out what you put in. Problem is our brains don't like going without that sense of gratification for long. We're like addicts, always looking for that next dopamine spike. It can come from a grand accomplishment, but it can also come from the quick fix social media, video games and impulse spending provides. The only way around this is to delay gratification altogether and increase our ability to focus for an increased amount of uninterrupted time - until we've finished what we've set out to do. This is of course known as patience, and in this episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, we'll discuss some tactics to help you cultivate it. I hope you get some value out of this episode and use some of the tips you've learned to fortify your work ethic and increase your productivity. Thanks for listening. Until next time, keep on creating and keep on practicing! -Clayton If you liked this podcast episode, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.

Every project you undertake will demand some level of commitment to see it through to the end. The final outcome will be entirely dependent on the amount of effort you put into it. In short, you'll reap what you sow. This sentiment is all well and good, but in reality it can be extremely difficult to dedicate oneself to the often grueling task of producing your very best work. It takes time, effort, and discipline. We know that. But what we don't necessarily consider is the level of physical and mental fortitude we'll need to take our art to the next level every time pencil goes to paper. In this Podcast episode we'll be delving deeper into this topic as I reiterate the importance of always putting your best foot forward when it comes to your art. Every line of work wears thin after a time, and to keep on top of our game we've got to find something within it that reignites the fire and pushes us to continually give our craft 1000%. If we're unable to do this, we begin to take our abilities for granted, and complacency quickly sets in. We've seen it happen to many of our fellow artists, who's passion becomes just another day on the job. Their work loses the vitality it once had and you can tell their heart simply isn't in it any longer. Nothing is more tragic than that, and in this talk I'd like to try and help you avoid the same happening to you at all costs. I hope that you enjoy this episode and get some value out of it. If you find it useful, be sure to share it with your fellow art friends. They will be happy you did, and I'll be thankful to you for passing it along. Until next time, keep on creating and keep on practicing. -Clayton If you liked this podcast episode, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.

Finding your path as an artist can be tough. Sometimes we fall off track and lose our way. Other times we question our ambitions and wonder if we're going down the right road at all. This doesn't just apply to artists either. Knowing which way to turn next is a decision many of us find difficult to make, especially when we inevitably arrive at a crossroads. In this episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast Ric Bulow and I get together after a long awaited reunion to talk about where Ric's been, what he's been up to and how to he got himself back on track with a little introspection and a much needed break. What we'll learn in this episode is the importance of taking time to self reflect and asking yourself what it is you really want to go for in life - and most importantly why. The 'why' of anything we set out to do is the key to understanding what makes us tick, yet so often we forget to find a good enough reason for doing what we do. I hope you enjoy this episode of the HTDC Podcast and that you take away some insights from it. Thanks so much for listening! Until next time, keep on creating, keep on practicing and we'll see you in the next episode. -Clayton If you liked this podcast episode, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.

Finding the courage to start your art is hard sometimes, no matter what level of skill you're at. Feeling apprehensive, nervous or even scared of jumping in and taking action on your ideas can happen for a number of reasons. Maybe you had an idea that began as something fun and manageable, but somehow it quickly got blown out of proportion the more you thought about it - to the point where now it seems impossible to accomplish. It could be that you don't have a positive support system around you, to build you up, encourage you, and believe in what you're doing. When you feel like you've got no one on your team, setting out to achieve something great can seem impossible. Or you might not feel like your skill-set is up to snuff enough for you to pull off your grand vision. In this episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast I'm going to give you solutions to all these set backs so that you've got no excuses left to not dive in and start your art asap. I hope you enjoy this episode and that you take away a few nuggets of insight that'll help you along the way and give you the boost you need to get going on that next big project. If you enjoyed it, be sure to share it with your art friends. They'll be grateful you passed it along to them, and so will I!

As much as we love to draw, sometimes we're just not in the mood to put pencil to paper. When we feel lazy, tired, lethargic or simply uninspired it can seem almost impossible to get anything down onto the page at all. And it sucks. Because we know we're better than that. Ideally, if we could whip out a drawing at will whenever we liked it'd be game over. Just imagine how much more productive you could be? You'd triple your practice time, tear through your commissions and make real headway on your comic books. The sad truth is, no matter how much ability you have, there are days where you'd rather do anything else but draw. So knowing how much more we could get done, how do we get around that? How do we get in the mood to draw in the first place? That's what today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast is all about. You'll learn four nifty techniques to nip procrastination in the bud and pull yourself back on track to work toward the goals that matter most. Best of all, you'll learn the surprisingly simple thing you can do to click yourself over into a drawing mood almost instantly!

This episode, special guest artist Deth Phimmasone joins Clayton Barton to talk about a creative dilemma most, if not all, aspiring comic artists face - Getting whats in your head down onto paper. Oftentimes, the ideas inside our mind seem complex and intricate. But in reality, our brain stores information in a simplified manner, meaning that most of the mental imagery we might visualize is in fact symbolic, sometimes abstract versions of the idea we'd like to manifest on the page. In a sense, that's the best way to approach an illustration - to think on a more macro level and build the composition from the ground up using simplified forms that are representative of what will ultimately become the finished art work. Intuitively we have a natural tendency to tackle our art in the opposite way, attempting to incorporate the details and decorative intricacies without first having a solid foundation to build them upon. However without an accurate road map to follow it's very easy to lose your way. In this episode we'll discuss our experiences, along with our favorite techniques and methods for overcoming this artistic hurdle. We hope you enjoy this episode and take away a ton of value. Thanks for listening, and until next time - keep on creating and keep on practicing! -Clayton Check out Deth's Art at: https://www.instagram.com/dethdfyed Check our Clayton's Art at: https://www.claytonbartonartist.com/ If you liked this podcast episode, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.

When you're able to find a passion you can fall in love with, productivity becomes addictive. Sadly, many of us haven't found one yet that truly fulfills us in that way. Lets be realistic, we all have responsibilities and general house keeping to take care of in our lives. Unfortunately that can get in the way of what our heart truly yearns for, sometimes to the point where we become blind to the thing we really want to do most. It gets lost amid the mainstream narrative many of us fall into by default. However, as you'll learn in this podcast episode, there are ways not only to find a passion you can truly fall in love with, but also to pursue it. Funnily enough it's when we're in love with what we're doing that we're at our most productive. It's hard to stop. That's when you know you've found your purpose, when you become obsessed with the goal you've chosen to work toward. At that point you become unstoppable, and that's the power of love - loving what you do. Because the truth is, that's what you were supposed to be doing all along.

If there’s one thing that holds us back creatively, its artistic anxiety. In this episode of the HTDC Podcast you’ll learn what it is, why it happens and what to do about it. For the most part, thinking too much is to blame. In the beginning we start out with the best of intentions, pondering the next grand idea we intend to realize. In our mind we figure out every detail it’ll entail, bringing it into focus with sharper clarification before pencil ever goes to paper. Then it begins to ferment. Now that we’ve built that idea up so much in our head, the train of thought transitions into worry. A state of nervousness at the sheer scale of the task we’ve set for ourselves. Because as we dwell on an idea, it grows, and sometimes it grows so much that it becomes a monster. It’s at this point the perfect storm occurs and anxiety is bred. From that a reluctance comes about as we put that project we were once so excited about off for as long as we can hold out. We stall, and if we ever do eventually bite the bullet and get started on it, we’re dragging our heels the whole way. Of course overthinking things might not be the only cause of your artistic anxiety. There are plenty of insecurities and fears that are just waiting to catch you off guard and pull you into procrastination. Because doing nothing is much safer than facing the fear. For example, you might compare your level of skill to that of a pro that you consider to be far better. Trying to make your work meet an imaginary standard of elitism that you’ve set for yourself is one of the most sure fire ways to become paralysed. A good term for what we’re going to be talking about in this podcast episode is ‘analysis paralysis’ because that’s precisely what’s happening regardless of the cause of your artistic anxiety. At the end of the day it begins in the mind, and like a virus it spreads until you’re completely and utterly fatigued by it. Everything that’s holding you back, all that fear, nervousness and worry resides within you. So how do we overcome it? What’s the cure? There’s a profoundly simple solution to crushing artistic anxiety and getting back on track. If our worry and fear resides within the confines of the mind, then we must switch it off and force ourselves out onto the stage. I’m talking about less thinking and more doing. But here’s the key, you want to nip your negative, toxic trains of thought in the bud before they ever get a chance to prosper. Not all thoughts are bad. Some are certainly productive and getting clarity on your idea by fleshing it out in your mind first can aid you when it comes to putting it down on paper. However if they transgress into a more negative train of thought, that’s when your will to begin the project weakens. The worst part is that if you try to work in this less than optimal state of mind, you’ll probably end up producing subpar work. You won’t enjoy the experience of actually realizing your idea, and so those negative feelings, that anxiety will become anchored to the act. That means the very thing you love to do becomes the thing you fear most. In this episode I’ll share my insights and give you some suggestions as to how you can pull yourself out of this awful rut if you’ve found yourself in such a place. I hope that you get a ton of value out of it and that it truly does help you out.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stan Lee, the creative dynamo who revolutionized the comic book and helped make billions for Hollywood by introducing human frailties in superheroes such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk, died Monday. He was 95. Lee was declared dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to Kirk Schenck, an attorney for Lee’s daughter, J.C. Lee. As the top writer at Marvel Comics and later as its publisher, Lee was widely considered the architect of the contemporary comic book. He revived the industry in the 1960s by offering the costumes and action craved by younger readers while insisting on sophisticated plots, college-level dialogue, satire, science fiction, even philosophy. Millions responded to the unlikely mix of realistic fantasy, and many of his characters, including Spider-Man, the Hulk and X-Men went on to become stars of blockbuster films. Recent projects he helped make possible range from the films “Black Panther” and “Doctor Strange” to such TV series as “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Lee was recognizable to his fans — he had cameos in Marvel films and TV projects, his hair gray and his glasses tinted. “I think everybody loves things that are bigger than life. … I think of them as fairy tales for grown-ups,” he told The Associated Press in a 2006 interview. “We all grew up with giants and ogres and witches. Well, you get a little bit older and you’re too old to read fairy tales. But I don’t think you ever outgrow your love for those kinds of things, things that are bigger than life and magical and very imaginative.” Lee considered the comic-book medium an art form and he was prolific: By some accounts, he came up with a new comic book every day for 10 years. “I wrote so many I don’t even know. I wrote either hundreds or thousands of them,” he told the AP in 2006. He hit his stride in the 1960s when he brought the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man and numerous others to life. “It was like there was something in the air. I couldn’t do anything wrong,” he recalled. His heroes, meanwhile, were a far cry from virtuous do-gooders such as rival DC Comics’ Superman. The Fantastic Four fought with each other. Spider-Man was goaded into superhero work by his alter ego, Peter Parker, who suffered from unrequited crushes, money problems, and dandruff. The Silver Surfer, an alien doomed to wander Earth’s atmosphere, waxed about the woeful nature of man. The Hulk was marked by self-loathing. Daredevil was blind and Iron Man had a weak heart. “The beauty of Stan Lee’s characters is that they were characters first and superheroes next,” Jeff Kline, executive producer of the “Men in Black” animated television series, told The Blade of Toledo, Ohio, in 1998. Some of Lee’s creations became symbols of social change — the inner turmoil of Spider-Man represented ’60s America, for example, while The Black Panther and The Savage She-Hulk mirrored the travails of minorities and women. Lee scripted most of Marvel’s superhero comics himself during the ’60s, including the Avengers and the X-Men, two of the most enduring. In 1972, he became Marvel’s publisher and editorial director; four years later, 72 million copies of Spider-Man were sold. “He’s become our Mickey Mouse,” he once said of the masked, web-crawling crusader. Lee also published several books, including “The Superhero Women” in 1977 and “How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way” the following year, when he was named publisher of the year by the Periodical and Book Association of America. CBS turned the Hulk into a successful TV series, with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno portraying the doomed scientist from 1978-82. A Spider-Man series ran briefly in 1978. Both characters were featured in animated TV series as well. The first big-budget movie based on Lee’s characters, “X-Men,” was a smash in 2000, earning more than $130 million at North American theaters. “Spider-Man” did even better, ...

In Episode 14 of the HTDC Podcast we’re joined by special guest artist Robert Marzullo of Ram Studios Comics. Over the years Robert has produced hundreds of comic art tutorials and several courses, helping aspiring artists around the world harness their abilities and master their craft. If there’s one thing that can be said about Robert, it’s that he has a burning passion to not only create comics but to help others develop the skillset they need to do the same. During our catch up with Rob we talked about where it all began for him as an artist and the journey he took to develop his artistic abilities. Like many comic creators, the desire to tell his stories through the medium greatly over powered his doubts about the industry. Regardless of how much money, fame or praise it earned him, creating comics was simply something Robert had to do out of love for the craft. But it took time to learn it; to master the tools, techniques and habits of a seasoned pro. That’s why at the core of this episode we’ve focused on what it means to truly commit to the comic art craft. In the end, true commitment is the only guarantee any of us have of becoming the artist that we someday hope to be. It ensures that we don’t give up in the face of failure, fear or doubt. It pushes us through the obstacles and challenges that lie before us. And gets us through the hours and exertion of energy we must invest into our art so that it can be the very best it can be. To thank Robert for joining us, this episode’s album art is a tribute to his original character Blackstone. If you’ve read issue #1 of Blackstone then you’ll already know how much of a bad-ass this character is. Not to mention the level of quality and attention to detail put into the book is just breathtaking – it was great to chat with Rob about how he came up with Blackstone, his backstory and the creation process that went into producing the book. With one issue down and another soon to come, I’m excited to see where Blackstone’s story goes next. We hope you enjoy this episode. It was an absolute honor to finally get Robert onto the Podcast. We’ve talked about collaborating for a long time now, and this was by far one of the best episodes we’ve recorded to date. Here’s to more team ups in the future! Thanks for listening, and until next time – keep on creating. -Clayton If you like this Podcast Episode, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.

Williams II, available right now at a great price by clicking on the book cover above! I am old enough to remember what a sensation Stan Lee and John Buscema caused back in 1978 when the book, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, was published. That book promised to pull back the curtain and teach would-be comic book artists how the House of Ideas did things and how you could, too. But that was then—this is now. In the digital age, knowing how to hold a pencil is so 1999. If you want to make it in comics today, you need a lot more technical skills and information. And that, no doubt, is why Freddie E. Williams II is going to do very well with his timely new instructional book, The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics. Freddie E.
